- Опубликовано: 16 янв 2024
- Achara & Steph watch Francis Ford Coppola's best adaptive film of all time, The Godfather. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo, about Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando - Apocalypse Now & Superman (1978)) who wants to hand over his mafia empire to his youngest son, Michael (Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon, The Irishman, Scarface (1983) & Heat).
We wanted to provide all we could by splitting our reaction into two parts.
This film is directed by Francis Ford Coppola & it also stars: James Caan (Elf, Misery, & Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, Father of the Bride & Something's Gotta Give) & Robert Duvall (The Apostle, The Judge, Jack Reacher, The Road, & Deep Impact).

Does The Godfather deserve its reputation as one of the greatest American films ever made?Personally, I would say yes.
Is this a real question?! 😮 OF COURSE IT DOES! 👍
One of the greatest??? It's thee greatest.
I would say: The Godfather II is THE BEST, followed by The Godfather I.
This generation would say that it's not woke enough, imagine Vito Corleone before dying said I am a lesbian, that's why I married your mum.😂
One of, easily but you could argue #1 and many have.
Out of all the people present at Connie's wedding day, Luca Brasi is the only person who actually came to the wedding to pledge his loyalty and congratulate Don Vito.
He was also he only person who didn't ask for any favours unlike many others who had their requests.
Maybe that's the reason why Luca Brasi was referred to as "my most valued friend" by Don Vito Corleone himself.
It's also because Luca was a literal psychopath that even Don Corleone was a bit freaked out by
Good catch. I never thought about that before of Luca being the only one who asked for nothing that day.
Luca is a dangerous man, if you go by the book.
To all those person who tryna prove me wrong by saying Luka is dangerous and a psychopath, I never said anything about Luka "not being dangerous".
And for the people who tryna give me the bookish knowledge, Luca respected and pledged his loyalty to Don Corleone in the book too.
@@YonkoAkagamiShanks ok sensitive guy.
About Michael:
The beginning of the film is just after the end of World War 2. At the wedding, Michael is wearing a WW2 US Marine Corps officer's uniform. The insignia on his shoulder epaulets show his rank is Captain, an officer commanding a Company of 160-200 men. The ribbons on the left front of his jacket are: top row left to right Silver Star (3rd highest award for combat valor with serious risk to own life), Navy and Marine Corps Medal (highest award for non-combat life saving valor with serious risk to own life), Purple Heart (for being wounded in combat), 2nd row left-most ribbon is WW2 Pacific Theater Campaign Medal with 2 Stars (indicates participating in a total of 3 Pacific Island battles).
Prior to being promoted to Captain, as a 2nd Lieutenant and then 1st Lieutenant he would have commanded a platoon of 40-50 men. He is a combat veteran who has commanded a significant number of men (40-50, later 160-200), is trained and experienced in marksmanship and tactics (attacks, defense, ambushes, maneuvering for position, etc., as well as individual combat skills), taking decisive action and clear thinking in stressful situations, been promoted through 3 officer ranks (2nd Lieutenant -> 1st Lieutenant -> Captain), shown personal bravery in both combat and dangerous non-combat situations, been wounded in combat, and seen some of the bloodiest battlefields of WW2. Most of those battles had very intense hand-to-hand combat, no just shooting, as they almost always ended with desperate Japanese soldiers making massed banzai charges. Being a Marine officer during wartime is not a union job, there are no promotions because of seniority; he was promoted twice because he had demonstrated competence at leading men and killing the enemy.
At the wedding and throughout the movie, he is almost always the most experienced, hardened killer in the room. The older mafiosi laugh at him for proposing to shot Sollozzo and the police captain, but really have no idea what his experiences are or how coldly ruthless he will be to decisively defeat/eliminate his enemies.
Be all that as it may, how much of all that did Michael actually accomplish? His father didn’t pull some strings for him to protect him?
That's the prequel I've always wanted to see - what, exactly, DID Michael do during the war?
@gv7217 Remember, the Don had politicians in his pocket and almost the entire family disapproved of Mike enlisting. If Mike insisted in his service, there was no way the Don was going to risk letting Mike suffer through everything.
@@Wired4Life2The mafias pull did not go as far as the military. Once you were in basic training you were the Army's property and nobody got preferential treatment.
However because Michael had dropped out of college to join it might have earmarked him as prime officer material but he would have got that all on his own as leading a platoon is more likely to put you in danger than shield you from it.
Michael wanted to make his own way in the world and although it hurt Vito as every father wants to protect their son I think Vito probably respected Michael the most out of all his children
@@Wired4Life2 As if Vito would have disrespected his son by pulling some strings for him.
That cat in the beginning wasn't planned. It was just a stray cat roaming around the studio so they grabbed him and handed him to Brando. Totally unplanned and this little character goes down in movie history in the most Iconic film ever made.
The cat was purring so loudly in the opening scene that the actors had to re-dub their lines afterwards, yes?
Luca Brasi was played by Lenny Montana a former wrestler and probably
connected with the mob. The Godfather was his first movie and he was nervous about having a scene with the famous Marlon Brando and actually spent time practicing his lines before each take. Coppola noticed this and wrote it into the script.
Also if I don't remember wrong he were a part of the reason that the mob stopped following the crew and actors because they learned about how well and respectfull they made the movie.
Yeah, he was a mob enforcer.
Crazy nobody at the studio wanted Pacino as Michael but Coppola was adamant! Thank god! Coppola gave me my all time favorite actor
Same for Brando who was considered a has been by then. There is a great story in the making of the GF where they talk about auditioning Brando for the part of Corleone at his house without calling it an audition as not to insult Brando. Brando, then in his late forties, used just a couple of props laying about and in a matter of minutes transformed into Corleone. Legend.
@@chocobxl imagine that movie without Brando or Pacino!
Johnny Fontaine/ Frank Sinatra From Here to Eternity
What most people miss is that Micheal was a WWII marine corp captain in the pacific theater. He knew how to plan missions and he knew how to kill. What he didn’t understand was that Sollozzo wasn’t the main figure in the plot to kill Vito. Killing him wouldn’t end the threat.
A lot of things are clearer if you've read the book. The Godfather might threaten terrorize or even order someone killed, but he's also notoriously old fashioned about certain things. He doesn't take the deal with Sollozzo because he truly doesn't want to get involved with that kind of business despite the potential for enormous profit
Fun Fact: Talia Shire who played Connie Corleone is the sister of Francis Ford Coppola who directed this iconic movie, and is the aunt of Sophia Coppola and Nicolas Cage and the mother of Jason Schwartzman.
I will keep saying it. Of all the new additions to the channel, Steph is the best by far; she is probably the smartest of the channel, appreciates well-acted, written, and filmed scenes, doesn’t talk over every dialogue and about unrelated topics to what they are reacting to, etc. She is so good; I missed her when she was gone, and I am glad she is back. I would love to see Achara and Steph react to Mr. Robot, Dark, The Bear, Barry, Fleabag, or Severance.
Get your life together dude
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 Please don't worry about me; everything in my life is fine. I advise you to stop projecting your miserable life onto me and to get your life together instead of worrying about me.
First time watching this channel and immediately fell in love with Steph. She is the kind of woman I would love to date. So intelligent and beautiful.
When there are short moments in the Italian language without subtitles, it is because it doesn’t matter to the progress of the film, exactly what they are saying - the audience has the general idea of what is going on, but it makes the audience focus more on what shows on the faces and body language of these phenomenal actors, and watch their reactions to each other, and we also can absorb the atmosphere built up in the scene through camera movements, lighting, music, sound fx, placement of the actors, etc and we get whatever information we need from all of that, without specific words. You will notice the same in Godfather Part 2.
Luca Brasi(Lenny Montana) was muscle for the Columbo family. Joe Columbo allowed The Godfather movie to be made as long as they didn't use the words "Mob", "Mafia" or "cosa nostra". They were able to use the words in The Godfather part 2 because Joe Columbo was dead.
As close to a perfect movie that has ever been made. It's really flawless which is why it holds up even today...
Well, maybe, except for the scene where Sonny is kicking Carlo's butt out on the street. A couple of those punches that Sonny throws at Carlo missed hitting him by an obvious, considerable distance. Once that is noticed it becomes to obvious to overlook on repeat viewings. Someone in the film editing process somehow let that clip slip by.
@@montag4516 thought of that as soon as I posted it. Flawless minus that one shot agreed….
RIP John Cazale. The work he did alongside Pacino, De Niro and Streep was incredible.
Godfather, dog day afternoon and the deer hunter
Fun Facts: They didn't want Al Pacino for the role.
The horse head is a real horse head they got from a slaughter house. They didn't tell the actor to get an honest reaction.
Marlon Brando was notorious for not learning his lines. They use to put cheat cards in different areas so he could referencing them during the scene. |
It was Brando's idea to have the cat in the beginning to show the juxtaposition between the character and he kindness.
I learned something new this time.....after the Don was shot and Tatalia is telling Tom to make the deal....Tatalia said "Sonny was hot for my deal wasn't he?" I realized that by Sonny opening his mouth at the meeting with his dad and Tatalia is what put his dad's life at risk
That was Sallozo, not Tattalia.
@montag4516 and I could NEVER get their names straight lol
Yes. That is what happened. It would be foolish of the Turk to assume he could deal with Sonny after assassinating the Don based on nothing. Or nothing + Tom being reasonable.
One of the all time greatest films ever made! I remember growing up as a kid seeing SO MANY nods to this movie in kids cartoons and never understanding them without proper context until I finally saw this movie.
Calling _The Godfather_ "one of the best films of all times" is *definitely* NOT a stretch... It's been rated for decades now and documented at IMDb as #2 best film of all times, only bested by _The Shawshank Redemption_
21:09 - in case you missed it, the guy who shows up at the hospital is Enzo, the young man who the Godfather arranged to marry the daughter of the baker in order to stay in the U.S.
Also, one of my favorite details is outside the hospital after Michael and Enzo have successfully scared off the men who came to kill Don Corleone, and Enzo's hands are shaking as he tries to light a cigarette but Michael notices his own hands are not shaking as he helps Enzo.
And Enzo, who simply came to personally thank Vito, stayed and supported Michael. The Corleones never forgot this and made sure Enzo had a successful career as a baker.
_”Dang, am I really born for this life?”_
At 24:56 Steph becomes a believer and becomes a believer that this movie is one of the best movies of all time.
Don’t skip part three. It ties up Michael’s story.
Nah, you can skip Part III
@@justinwebber5313 Theatrical cut or _Coda_ cut?
Part 3 was never supposed to be made. It was a money grab. Francis always intended it to end as part 2 ended, With Michael alone. Al Pacino murdered the michael character in part 3 anyway. I don't know who he was playing.
@@MrAitraining can't blame Al for sht script
The 2 of you together have great chemistry. I really enjoyed your reaction to the Daredevil series
Great reaction. You kept almost all the important dialogue and scenes in this edit.
I always thought (and maybe they were) the nurse and Enzo who saved Don Corleone in the hospital better have been set up for life! 😄
In Part III, Enzo is still baking for the Corleones
if there's anything that impressed me like this movie, it's the struggles the filmmakers had to face while doing it. Really recommend the recent Mini-Series "The Offer", where the making of this movie is documented. Especially the cast for Coppola and young Pacino was great.
It is one of the best movies ever made. It consistently makes critics and fans top 10 lists.
Don't leave us hanging... please get part 2 out ASAP ❤
It IS the greatest film of all time!!! Every scene is my favorite scene
And just 11 years later Michael was Scarface!
This was a close to a perfect reaction. I value the commentary and they had the best expressions/ facial reactions.
Marlon Brando is the greatest actor of all time
I love Steph's reaction! "We are all the homies? Where were you (Sonny)? The bodyguard "can't call off the job". I love this movie..."
Michael served as a Marine in WWII. He was trained & had killed before.
This movie is my fav of all time. Actually this one and Part 2. I go back and forth. I really hope you two react to that one as well.
The great slow zoom that opens the first scene is IMO the best film beginning ever. It tells you something really special is coming...
That first scene is great, and not just because it tells you who Vito Corleone is. It tells you WHY he is. He's an immigrant and immigrants get treated poorly. So he became the government/justice system for his community. They come to him for help and in turn owe him It's one of the reasons he's so powerful, more powerful that the other mob bosses. His first scene tells you all that without having to spell it out.
It IS the best film I’ve ever seen.
My buddy and I quoted this constantly. We regularly called each other "my Kraut Mick friend!" but only one of us was even a little Irish.
Marlin Brando such an amazing actor, over his career he's played alot of calm but aggressive temprementive men.
"The Offer" will answer any questions you have about this movie. And Achara and Steph, you *must* do Part II!!!!! My home city, Newark, N.J., was run by these people in the middle of the last century. (Where I'm from "The Sopranos" is a documentary :) ).
I love watching people seeing this for the first time. BTW.. if no one mentioned it.. the actor that played Luca was actually a enforcer for the columbo family in real life... The actor playing Fredo only made 5 movies and all of them were best picture noms... You never see the actor, you only see fredo...
Its hard to argue that this is one of the best American films ( along with part II) of all time
This is such an American story, not just an Italian immigrant movie. It's the blend of the New World and the Old World that forged the modern nation. What is fantastic about it is that every scene is like a "slice of life" - you tend to forget that the lighting and camera are there, and that the actors are even playing a part. The effect is seamless.
I believe in America...
Much respect to you two for paying full attention to Paulie and why he was taken out. 👍👍
Many reactors did not pay attention, and they were clueless about why the guy in the car was shot.
Regarding the hospital scene, according to the book, when the assassins saw two men standing outside the entrance acting like guards, it looked like the whole place was guarded.
Why take risks when you can call a police captain for help?
The actor playing Luca *was* nervous but it didn't help that Brando was making faces at him while he was delivering his lines ;) Brando also loaded his stretcher with bricks. Watch the ambulance bearers faces while hoisting him up ;)
Ha, I never heard about the bricks in the stretcher prank. 😅
Finally you guys are seeing some great movies ❤
in case you girls don't know, yet.... Adrian from Rocky is this movie's director's little sister.
Michael isn't fluent in Italian that's why we don't see the subtitles. The perspective of the film is shifting into his pov.
For Marlon´s Brando character in this movie, Don Vito Corleone, Francis Ford Coppola put a jaw prosthesis in his mouth and a gauze, to give him that particular face. Brando was relatively young in this film, and Coppola pretended to age him and look more threatening.
In Francis's DVD commentary (which is awesome btw), he said the jaw thing was Brando's idea. He told Coppola that he should look like a bulldog when they were doing make up tests and screwing around at Marlon's house
Yes Steph,Talia Shire "Connie" besides The Godfather & Rocky Series was also involved in the Filmmaking of 3 films during the 80's the most memorable for me was "Rad"(1986) Talia & her late husband Jack Schwartzman were both involved in the making of the movie,a Family,Cheesy but Good Film she also stars in the movie as well.
I think that the first 2 Godfather movies make the greatest movie ever made. The 3rd one is a let-down, but still has it's moments.
Damn. " Leave the gun. Bring the canoli" is one of the most legendary lines of the movie. Definitely shouldn't have been edited out.
Okay ladies, you are CORRECT, girl on the left, that yes the actor that plays Luca Brasi was extremely nervous to act in front of Marlon Brando!! Which is kind of funny if you think about the fact that that actor, whose name is Lenny Montana, was actually a SOLDIER in the Colombo family (Mafia)! Joe Colombo, a mob figure in New York, at first did not want a film being made from the book!! The Italian American community felt that it through a negative light on the Italian people!!!
But the producer was able to befriend Joe and get him on board!!
There is a great series on Paramount called "The Offer" which tells the whole story of trying to, and eventually getting to, make this FILM!!! Lots of great information on The Godfather is contained in THAT series!!! Including that the horse's head was actually a real horse's head but they didn't kill a horse to get it!!😮
Also DON'T let anybody TALK YOU OUT of watching the third Godfather!! It completes Michael's Arc as a character!!! It's not as great as 1 and 2 but it isn't necessary addition to the story!! I think you OWE it to YOURSELVES to watch it and JUDGE it for YOURSELVES!!!❤
After watching these reactions not only do I feel like Steph would be a good Sicilian wife, but she would also be a most trusted confidant.
An even more interesting story about the actor who plays Luca Brasi. He was an actual mafia enforcer for the New York crime boss Joe Colombo. Joe Colombo got his hooks into the production of this movie and had script approval. The actor that was slated to play Luca Brasi became unavailable due to illness I believe and they had to scramble so they offered the part to former wrestler and mob enforcer Lenny Montana.
Leave the gun, take the Cannoli!! So many iconic quotes from this movie!
Thank you so much for putting the entire first scene … ..!!!!
6:13 Talia Shire the actress playing Connie is the sister of the director Frances Ford Coppola
I'm holding out for part 2 before watching, but I'm pumped!
wow I love that you 2 see the way Michael evolves. Nice job Acara when you pointed out that Slow trackin shot before Michael tells what he will do! SO many actors were considered for Michael and Coppola (director) insisted ON PAcino and Brando won his second oscar too.
Fluffly the horse received the coveted Golden Hoof award for best equestrian in a movie... posthumously of course.
Whoever pixellated the graphic scenes is very clever! 😉
in these 2 there r multiple academy award winners over there careers , never has so many Oscar winners starred in movies like the godfather
@Achara is watching this with such reverence, like she’s reading someone’s personal diary….👏👏👏
The reason that the scene was in the movie, where Lenny Montana, who played Luca Brasi, was rehearsing is lines was, the director saw him actually doing that and thought it would be great if he did it for the camera.
Lenny Montana as not an actor, by profession but, a professional wrestler and enforcer and sometimes arsonist, for the Colombo crime family.
Great reaction ladies. Yes the actor playing Luca was nervous and rehearsing his lines and they just filmed it and used it. Lol!
you ladies are the best.
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's Especially This One,The Godfather Is The Best 👍💯 & Please Do The Godfather Part 2
“I suspect your man’s gonna become a killer very soon”
Michael was already a killer. “He’s a war hero!”
I recently watched the 3rd film (1990 cut), and I liked it more than the 2nd film. The 2nd film felt more like a sad documentary. Where as the 3rd gave me more emotional depth. The ending hits so hard. It actually made me cry.
That actor playing Lou Cabrassi was outside practicing his speech for the Godfather was him actually rehearsing his lines and the director decided to film him doing so. Wasn't a bad idea.
Achara just confirmed what I said.
Luca Brasi was a very bad man.... 😱
13:10 Coppala did not tell the actor that there would be a horse head in the bed, and Al Rudy, the producer of The Godfather, had gone to a butcher shop that chopped up old racehorses for dog food and bought the head. That scream from the actor is real surprise and terror.
The horse's head was real. It came from a slaughterhouse where horses were being destroyed for dog food. A member of the production went to the company, chose a horse that resembled the thoroughbred used in the earlier scene, and asked that when the time came, the head be sent to the filmmakers. The company later sent a box with the head packed in ice.
I also read that during rehearsals a fake horse head and blood was used, but when the actual filming was done, they used the real horse head, which shocked the actor so his reactions were authentic. Can anyone verify if this is accurate?
Ending Part 1 at that spot.....OOOOoooooo! I'm dyin'!! 😆😆
Please give a raise to the one selecting the movies. I feel like I am revisiting the old days 🤩
15:45 that was an all-time great scream. Great reaction, looking forward to several reaction scenes in part 2.
The Godfather is the greatest movie of all time 🥵
Great first part reaction video to this iconic and legendary mob movie.
7:46 Fun fact: In real-life character, Luca Brasi was an enforcer for the Colombo crime family and a professional wrestler 👍
A real gangster. I'm sure he was very nervous 😊
20:08 Michael was a decorated marine in World War II. something everyone seems to overlook including his own family. He was no stranger to killing.
Watch the detailed analysis of the Godfather on my channel!
Honestly, phenomenal cliffhanger cut to part 2. Right when the viewer wants to see your reaction. Perfect 👌👍
That nervous actor is a real mobster, he was in the movie representing Colombo family (as I recall) to supervise if everything is going according to cosa nostra will.
08:05 the person that played Luca Brasi was not an actor, but an actual gangster sent by one of the mafia crimelords to oversee the filming of the movie to ensure no mafia secrets where told in the movie.
At the time they were filming the revolving door mob hit.
There was a mob hit occurring on the other side of town.
The book actually explains that Paulie really did betray the Don. Every time he called out sick, the hit men would watch how the Don's security adjusted till he finally got careless and only took Fredo with him as a bodyguard. Tom has his people tap the phones of Pulie and all his friends and catch him calling Tattaglia for further instructions.
27:30 "You think too much of me". He is telling the truth; by the end of the movie, we learn it was Barsini all along.
Lenny Montana, the big guy who plays Luca Brasi was actually a fighter and a member of the mafia Colombo family.
There is a series called The Offer that shows how difficult and spectacular this movie was to produce. Highly recomended!
the perfect movie of a downward spiral of power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It’s sad that a lot of people dont understand that this movie is a warning.
Best duo! Bar none. With respect to the other CinePals
Alex Rocco, the actor who plays Moe Green, in real life was part of the infamous The Winter Hill Gang in Sommerville, Ma. fronted by Whitey Bulger. Nice reaction ladies! 👍
20:00 there is a deleted scene where it’s mentioned that Paulie kept getting calls from a private number or something. I think thats how it was in the book, so yeah, he did sell out the Don.
I don't understand how people who react to movies from all the countries all the time have never watched such a culturally iconic movies of their own.
Luca Brasi was played by a guy called Lenny Montana. He was an actual enforcer for the mafia, he worked for the Colombo Crime Family
In the movie they don’t really say what the Godfather does to the young men who beat up the undertaker’s daughter. But it the book he has them all beaten within an inch of their lives (he doesn’t have them killed since they didn’t kill the daughter). But the young men are hospitalized for a long time.
Johnny Fontaine was Frank Sinatra and the movie was From Here to Eternity. Rejuvenated his career.
Johnny Fontaine is Frank Sinatra, the movie was Fred Zinneman's "From Here to Eternity" with the iconic beach scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. I really enjoyed your reaction, the way you follow the story and your comments, you both will just LOVE Part II !!
To clear up confusion, Johnny Fontaine isn't played by Frank Sinatra. In case someone reading your comment interprets it that way.
Johnny Fontaine *represents* Frank Sinatra. Ahem.
The gentleman who played Luca brasi was a former pro wrestler who was in fact nervous as this was his first role if memory serves me...and the Luca Brasi character was a monster in the books..
The third one is just as amazing actually
My favorite inciting incident, ever: Sonny opens his mouth for a split second, and that sets off the rest of the movie.
